Wrestlemania XXIV Breaks Records


Pro boxer turned semi-wrestler, Floyd Mayweather continuously spoke on TV interviews and other footage about "shattering last year's Wrestlemania records set by Trump-McMahon". Floyd may have been helpful as the WWE smashed ticket sales and attendance records for this year's huge outdoor event. According to bizjournals.com:

WrestleMania XXIV, held at the Citrus Bowl, attracted 74,635 fans, a record attendance for the event hosted by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

In addition, WrestleMania generated gross ticket sales of $5.85 million, which makes it the highest grossing live event for both the WWE and the Citrus Bowl.

WWE Executive Vice President Geof Rochester says in a prepared statement that wrestling fans from 50 states and 22 countries attended the annual event.

Another triumphant event for Vince McMahon and his top brand of sports entertainment. John Saboor, president of the Central Florida Sports Commission is already talking about having McMahon and his crew back for another event. This Monday Night's Raw, will also be in Orlando and should have more mayhem and fallout from last night's huge outdoor event.
